Ontario is the largest producer of Panax quinquefolius in North America. The ginseng industry began here in 1704 when Jesuit priests discovered the root growing wild. Since then, Ontario producers have set the gold standard in production and research. The clean water and minimal pollution of southwestern Ontario help to ensure the high quality of Ontario’s ginseng. Ongoing research enables growers to use biological controls; and recent disease control research has led to the identification of products that will not only reduce the risk of disease in North American Ginseng, but will reduce the environmental risk as well, ensuring agriculture is sustainable in the future.
